# Localization

SDK is available in English.
You can modify all of the strings and add your own language.
For more information on how localization works in Android, check out the [official Android documentation](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/localization).

To modify an existing string, the best approach would be to:


1. Check out all the available strings you can change in the [`strings.xml`](https://github.com/MicroblinkPlatform/microblink-platform-android/tree/main/strings/strings.xml).
2. Choose a string key that you want to change. For example: `<string name="mb_result_done">Done</string>`.
3. In your project, create a file `strings.xml` in the folder `res/values` if it doesn't already exist.
4. Create an entry in the file with the value for the string. For example: `<string name="mb_result_done">Accept</string>`.
5. Repeat for all the strings you wish to change.

### <a name="adding-new-language"></a> Adding new language {/* #a-nameadding-new-languagea-adding-new-language */}
The *Microblink Platform* SDK can easily be translated into other languages.
The [`strings.xml`](https://github.com/MicroblinkPlatform/microblink-platform-android/tree/main/strings/strings.xml) contains all the strings used in the *Microblink Platform* library.
In order to make e.g. German translation, create a folder `res/values-de` in your project and create a `strings.xml` inside it.
Then, open that file and create entries for strings you wish to translate.
E.g., for the string `mb_result_done`, you should create an entry like this: `<string name="mb_result_done">Bestätigen</string>`
